Know what went into the carton
Record items and useful notes while packing. A photo can distinguish your everyday kettle from the spare.
Moving & relocation / From packed to found
Pack the box.
Keep the memory.
Moving is enough work without guessing which carton holds the kettle. Record your belongings as you pack, and give each box a name you can find again.
A familiar moment
It’s the first evening in the new place. You just want to make a cup of tea.
A handwritten “Kitchen” helps until there are twelve kitchen boxes. Add a few names and photos while the box is open, so search can take you back to the right one later.
Useful in the everyday
A little structure.
A clearer place to start.
Put a shortcut on the outside
Print a QR label for the box and scan it to view the contents you saved.
Keep the location current
Update the box’s location as it moves from the old cupboard to temporary storage and into the new home.
Put it into practice
Start small.
Make it useful.
A short list that matches the physical shelf is a good place to begin.
Choose one packing box
Name it “Kitchen essentials” and record its current physical location.
Add the things inside
Photograph the items or enter their details yourself before sealing the carton.
Label, search and unpack
Print its QR label. Search for an item when you need it and update its recorded storage as you settle in.

Inside the working app
Print a label that connects a physical box to the inventory you saved.
The real app screen shown here uses existing camping inventory. The same inventory tools can record your own belongings and storage.
Keep saved details current when things move. Photo-assisted suggestions need review; a QR label looks up what you recorded.
A few practical details
Before you
get started.
Do I have to inventory every single thing?
Start with the belongings you’re likely to need first. A short, accurate list can be useful before you’ve recorded the entire move.
Can I begin without a printer?
Yes. Name the boxes and use search. Print the QR labels when you have access to a suitable printer.
What should I do when an item is unpacked?
Move the saved item into the box, drawer or shelf where it now belongs, and update the location to match.
